In my daily routine I am trying to make use of more and more open source software. I am a .NET programmer so I am developing on a Windows Server 2008 ent. box with Visual Studio 2008 and SQL server 2005. For all the other tasks I am trying to use only open source software. I like using the following open (free) source software in my daily programming tasks:
- Notepad++ (text editor)
- Winmerge (merging)
- Textcrawler (searching text in files)
- Deamon tools lite (for installing other not free
development software) - Fiddler (http traffic scanning)
- Jakarta JMeter (performance / load testing)
- FireFox with Firebug and Web developer toolbar (for creating css styles)
- Dot Net Reflector (analyze .NET dll’s )
- Sysinternals suite ( great collection off tools like diskmon, filemon, etc)
- Wamp server (development env with PHP, MySql, Apache for windows)
- Eclipse (for playing with JaVa
- GIMP / Paint.NET (image viewers / editors)
- Screenhunter Free (for creating Screenshots / Screen area’s )
Does anybody have more sugestions for me?
